Firstly, it was back in 2017 or 2018 when I was in high school. Firstly, me and my friend decided to go to a sushi restaurant located in Besiktas. I can say it was quite renowned among the locals of Istanbul back then. However, after visiting that place, a waitress met us and showed us our table. After staying, we took the menu and started to look for a meal that is appropriate and delicious for me. After deciding, we ordered the food, but it was a disaster. The fish was undercooked and I got poisoned by it. That’s why I said it was a nightmare. They took me to the hospital and I was hospitalized for two or three days because of food poisoning. After this horrible experience, I sued the company which resulted in a $5000. I’m not sure of the amount, but it was a high one. They paid me and I spent the money however I wanted.
